"This was definately THE Leadership Experience.  I learned a lot of things about leadership and how vital it was for life.  Go to this camp and you'll learn and have fun at the same time."  -2006 Participant

 

This program has attracted students from accross the US and internationally.  On-campus housing on Villanova's campus give participants a "true taste" of college life.  This experience includes moving between cutting-edge technology facilities to on-campus dining and many other activities. 

 

Have fun while learning how to be a better leader!  Self discovery, developing a personal leadership style, goal setting, learning how to make your mark, creating a positive difference in a community are all topics that are highlighted throughout the week in engaging workshops. 

 

The impacts of the camp are too numerous to mention, but a comprehensive agenda includes keynote speakers, a team challenge ropes course, service learning experience, and skill building sessions.  These interactive skill sessions will focus on critical leadership topics such as Negotiation, Motivation, and Decision Making and Ethics. The culmination of the week is a leadership capstone where students will have the opportunity to immediately put their new found skills to work.  Throughout the week, students develop a leadership portfolio they can take with them and continue to add to…a great addition for college applications or to take back to your school!

 

A college prep experience, the ability to enhance and develop leadership skills, interaction with students from accross the country and internationally, and an opportunity to learn from the best are highlights of this world-class program.  This exciting week applies to all students whether just beginning to develop leadership skills or already have some leadership experience.   This is a week you cannot afford to miss!
